Context of Ezekiel 28:19

17Your heart was proud and arrogant because of your beauty; You destroyed your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I lay you before kings, That they might look at you. 18You profaned your sanctuaries By the great quantity of your sins and the enormity of your guilt, By the unrighteousness of your trade.

All the peoples (nations) who knew you Are appalled at you; You have come to a horrible and terrifying end And will forever cease to be.” ’ ” 20Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 21“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her
